Thanks for the announcement. Local Wal-Mart stocks may vary, and they're not listed on walmart.com (probably not worth putting up there at the list price). These could be good to do quick building for 10mm/12mm/1:144 armies.

Jwong, how much are they?

Google-fu reveals $1.79, which seems right.

Hey, jwong7109, when you're ready for some infantry and support items, give us a look. minifigs.com (look for the N scale listings (WITH pictures) on the site.)

Nice score, BTW!

From what I've read, not all Wal-Marts are carrying them yet. I'll check in my area tomorrow. Dang, looks like I'll be spending some money. They look awesome. Ebay sellers have been getting $6 USD for them.

Thanks for answering Urg's question, my google-fu is weak.

…Jwong, how much are they?

Sorry for responding so late to your question.

I got a Hellcat and Panther 1/144 tank for $1.79 USD each from Germantown, Maryland, Walmart store.

You should call the Walmart store first to see if they are in stock. They are sold in the toy section of the store.

I finally found a Walmart that had some. Their price was $1.87. The only one I didd not get was the Hellcat because they had a tiop on it and it was open top.

They also had some 1/50 scale Corgi at a nice price as well.

Hi Rudynelson hey if you did get the M18 you can Black out the part on top that is there and make it look open easy thats what I did . Just wanted to let you know and if you wantedmore depth just take small bit off with the razor knife .The lines are on the model so just look at a pic on line of the roof if ya dont have one .
